Taxi's Passengers Robbed, Again.

Well, and here we go again. There was another robbery on taxi few days ago. You can read the news here on Jakarta Globe.

Living in Jakarta is tough

Few days to go before Lunar Year celebration, suddenly there was shocking news. Someone drove her car and hit 12 pedestrians. Took the life of 9 and if you count the unborn child then all total : 10 victims. Die for nothing. Horrible!


People said that living here in Jakarta was hard. Being pedestrian you could get hit by speeding cars, while you are crossing the street or just standing near the bus stop. If you use public transportation (take your pick starting from the cheapest to the expensive) then you might be mugged or worst. Sexual harassment escalate to rape. Or if you are out under the heavy rain, a falling (big heavy) tree could also kill you.

Problems on the road

Apparently, taking public transportation in Jakarta created so many problems. Let me try to write them down one by one based on my knowledge


Robbery on the bus, mikrolet, kopaja, taxi
Pickpocket on the bus or all kind public transportation taken by so many people
Rape or sexual harrassement on public transportation
